But according to fangraphs his avg FB velocity last year was 94.7mph. This year it is 94.1mph. Taking into account that he’s had a couple of injuries this year he probably hasn’t lost any. The control issue however is something to worry about..
I watched the entire game yesterday (minus the first 2/3 of it, which was the part I’m glad I missed) And I MISS ALL this game. I really would’ve enjoyed watching Reed’s FB.
I'm here for you, boss.
Garces - May 31, 2008
So this Felix guy is pretty good, huh?
Also, another lineout for KA
dbroncos31 - May 31, 2008
If anyone missed it in the last thread
Does anyone know where I could find the league average, and therefore individual statistics on reached-on errors?
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
anyone know where I could fine
Betlre’s LD% vs. league average?
mr.smartypants - May 31, 2008
find*
mr.smartypants - May 31, 2008
In corrolation, does anyone have a line or statistic on unlucky hits and unfair At-Bats?
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Hardball Times will give you Beltre's
but idk about laegue average
Beltre
dbroncos31 - May 31, 2008
well, THT tells me what I want to know
his BABIP is .244. that’s telling.
mr.smartypants - May 31, 2008
Yep.
God does not like Beltre.
dbroncos31 - May 31, 2008
God just hates Seattle
Just look at the women we’re stuck with.
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
Has anyone seen my baseball?
Well I figured since everyone else is asking for something
Brian Floyd - May 31, 2008
Warren?
MFAN - May 31, 2008
Cameron Diaz has it
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Have you seen Mr. Baseball?
Now there’s a quality film.
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
Splitscreen
That’s more like it.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Thanks to Jim for delaying the game during the Griffey AB
Happybelly - May 31, 2008
Hell of a shift there on Griffey
Brian Floyd - May 31, 2008
Hay guys!! Griffey hit 599
that’s almost like 600!!!!!
dbroncos31 - May 31, 2008
This Jeremy Reed looks just like the Jeremy Reed circa 2005-06
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Can't really blame him
He’s sitting a ton, getting at bats here and there. Any feel he had in the minors was probably destroyed by sitting in the bigs.
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
Possible. Or the AAA competition is vastly inferior compared to the majors
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
I don't know about 'vastly'
I think AAA isn’t as good, but it’s not as huge a jump as most people think.
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
All three players who were raking in AAA struggling or struggled here albeit in limited PAs
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
When was the last time Balentin went yard?
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
Its been a while. Against Detroit?
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
In Texas
MFAN - May 31, 2008
I think these guys deserve an extended look. Reed got his and proved to be marginal at best.
I want to see what Balentien and Clement can do.
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Reed in LF, Raul at DH is still better than what we've got now.
Aaron Campeau - May 31, 2008
I agree.
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Betancourt getting a walk is actually front page mlb.com news
Kaorikaze - May 31, 2008
The Rockies lost.
We’ll be one behind in the Strasbourg race, unless Felix turns into Mr. Hyde or our bullpen blows it.
redwolf75 - May 31, 2008
don't say things like that
I don’t want the mariners to lose.
mr.smartypants - May 31, 2008
At this point when we lose we really actually win
Robert - May 31, 2008
You’ll learn soon enough.
redwolf75 - May 31, 2008
So, has this been Good Felix?
Low pitch count, no walks, lots of Ks, but 6-8 GB/FB. I’ll take it no matter what, just curious.
Aaron Campeau - May 31, 2008
Good not awesome
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Felix for the complete game?
PC at 87
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
I'd prefer 8 innings from him
Bring in Green for the 9th or something
patsfan - May 31, 2008
i guess it depends on how the next inning goes
but I think i’d be more comfortable with 8 innings and ~ 100 pitches than 9 innings and 110-120
mr.smartypants - May 31, 2008
er
i’m a bit surprised they took him out at 7/87 though
mr.smartypants - May 31, 2008
i want to be watching this game. dodgers/mets is on my fox...so sad.
Alaska - May 31, 2008
Mac, thank you for not sending Felix back.
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Seems like an early hook
But my gf has a crush on morrow after what he did to the Red Sox, so I’m not complaining.
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
99 motherfucking miles an hour, bitches!
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
Morrow'ned
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Morrow :)
Kaorikaze - May 31, 2008
It's amazing the Morrow has found a mechanic or mental switch or something
and just become brilliant lately.
PhilKenSebben - May 31, 2008
My gf is cackling like the Crypt Keeper as Morrow morrowns these guys.
cackling and clapping.
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
A slider thrown in the strike zone to induce a ground out. I'm impressed.
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Woah....
in all of the chaos in moving into my new abode I didn’t know there was an early game today. Was Felix as sick as his line indicates?
PLU Tim - May 31, 2008
He was solid
Not amazing
Kaorikaze - May 31, 2008
Pretty much
However there were some line drives hit, and he did a lot of establishing the fastball.
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
He was pretty damn serviceable, though not overwhelming.
Tigers were like brain-dead Caribbeans swinging at slop, if you grok my Krueger.
esoteric - May 31, 2008
an 86 mph curve or whatever that is seems pretty nuts
backing up a 100 mph fastball
mr.smartypants - May 31, 2008
Fucking awesome Morrow
PhilKenSebben - May 31, 2008
sit the fuck down Pudge
MFAN - May 31, 2008
MORRPWN3D
esoteric - May 31, 2008
WOW!!!
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
and MORROW'NED
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
We need to decide what the proper spelling is. MORROW'NED, MORROWNED, MORRPWNED, or MORRPWN3D.
esoteric - May 31, 2008
Too many choices.
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
More-pwnt.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Well that was impressive
Brian Floyd - May 31, 2008
So even though FSN Northwest is no longer a FOX property, FOX can still black them out.
I was hoping for Sims today
PhilKenSebben - May 31, 2008
No, all Saturday afternoon games are automatically blacked out nationally, regardless of whether FOX carries them or not.
I do believe it is related to the exclusivity of FOX’s TV contract, however. Has nothing in particular to do with FSN Northwest, however.
esoteric - May 31, 2008
frickin' retarded
PhilKenSebben - May 31, 2008
Fuck you, I just finished my last law school paper and exam
I haven’t slept for 48 hours. I’m delirious with stupidity.
esoteric - May 31, 2008
He was talking about the contract, not you.
Though the blissful unawareness gets you a rec.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Wow, I am retarded...because I though this was in response to my musings on the proper spelling of "MORRPWNED"
Man, am I out of it. Thanks for the rec though, buddy.
esoteric - May 31, 2008
Sure man.
I personally like Morrpwnt.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Yeah, they're never taking Morrow out of the pen
patsfan - May 31, 2008
So I left in like the 6th
Felix kept the magic working, Morrow sweeps up the remains afterwards?
l hate it when I smell like grass.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
And is it just me, or is Eric Karros WAY too into Kenji's steal of home?
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
He really did enjoy it
Kaorikaze - May 31, 2008
Fuck you Kyle Busch
PhilKenSebben - May 31, 2008
REED!!!!
PhilKenSebben - May 31, 2008
Reed!
Happybelly - May 31, 2008
Get on base Reed.
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Thank you!
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Did you not get your wish but are still satisfied?
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
I got my wish and then some.
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Hey is that your actual name? Your username, that is.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
No, it's a backwards-name joke. He's really named Mayahasamra Leehsus.
esoteric - May 31, 2008
Wait was that supposed to mislead me?
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
That is my real name. In case you're wondering, it is Indian
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
What esoteric said, or what I asked?
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
My user name is my real name.
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
I was just wondering if it was for real
Because I love it. If it wasn’t real, I’d feel short changed.
Said how it looks?
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Shit Jeremy!
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Funk Blast?
Double06 - May 31, 2008
Jeremy Reed comes out of fucking nowhere!
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
REED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 FUNK BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MFAN - May 31, 2008
Atta' boy, Chandler.
Aaron Campeau - May 31, 2008
hahaha
MFAN - May 31, 2008
DUDE YOU'RE RIGHT.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Actually, he also kinda looks like Buddy from The Incredibles.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
That was a long hit. 390 feet
Encouraging
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Yeah like 15 rows back too.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
that was the fastest i've seen Cairo move.
PhilKenSebben - May 31, 2008
It helps that Renteria tried to get all flashy and made failure of self.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
the Giants 3 through 6
Winn-Rowand-Bowker-Denker
WTF?
MFAN - May 31, 2008
I think we Mariners fans have no right to criticize.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
hmmm it's about producing NOW
not what they did 3 or 4 years ago? Intriguing idea, announcer!
Will Kier - May 31, 2008
What did he say? I missed it.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Pointed out that the Tigers' lineup had 41 all-star game appearances
But then said it was nice but useless, because they weren’t producing this year.
Will Kier - May 31, 2008
Oh.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Ichiro and Yuni walking in the same day? IM SHOCKED!
PhilKenSebben - May 31, 2008
Did you get that thing I sent you?
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
A memo?
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Oh Dave...you just called that fly-out like it was going to be a homerun.
esoteric - May 31, 2008
Is that news?
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
typical Dave
it’s almost endearing.
mr.smartypants - May 31, 2008
Been waiting so long
PUTZ WOOOOOOOOOOOO
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
I think I could strike out Curtis Granderson
Kaorikaze - May 31, 2008
Putz's split looks filthy
Slow threads today…
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
Granderson's having a bad day
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - May 31, 2008
Now it says we're playing North Carolina Agricultural and Technical Aggies
Niiiiice.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
how are we not losing?
MFAN - May 31, 2008
They declined Kerry Wood's 800k option.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
JJ looks like 2007 form to me.
Whew.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
JJ has lost complete control of his fastball along with velocity.
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
He's hitting 96, that's not bad for him.
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
It should be more, yes, but he did look like a dealer out there.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
I thought he'd lost a fair chunk of velocity too
But according to fangraphs his avg FB velocity last year was 94.7mph. This year it is 94.1mph. Taking into account that he’s had a couple of injuries this year he probably hasn’t lost any. The control issue however is something to worry about..
Kaorikaze - May 31, 2008
How is that possible?
He throws like 13 pitches a night, and they always seem to be 98, 101, 99, 97, 99, etc.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Jeannie Zelasko is a fucking weird looking woman.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
It's the hair.
Smegmalicious - May 31, 2008
She just looks like a doll.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
I never realized how white Carlos Beltran looks.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Wait we won? And I watched some of it? Those two events haven't coincided in weeks...
SethGrandpa - May 31, 2008
Wow
Billy Wagner still has it.
PhilKenSebben - May 31, 2008
Bleh, I forgot what time the game was today
Nice to see Felix do great and get a little at the same time.
OlSalty - May 31, 2008
Me too
Grrrrr
thewyrm - May 31, 2008
get a little run support*
Though I do think Felix deserves to get laid regularly also.
OlSalty - May 31, 2008
I just noticed Kenji stole home...
Was that as hilarious as I imagine it was?
OlSalty - May 31, 2008
Not really.
Eric Karros loved it though. I was surprised, but no laughing occurred.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
I found it extremely hilarious
SethGrandpa - May 31, 2008
Botched suicide squeeze play
But the ball bounced in front of home plate and hit off Pudge’s chest protector. Kenji slid in safe because Pudge never picked up the ball to tag him.
This is one of those plays that goes as a stolen base of home, but shouldn’t be called that at all.
The Typical Idiot Fan - May 31, 2008
E2.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Someone got smart.
The Typical Idiot Fan - May 31, 2008
I wasn't before, apparently.
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
I missed an entertaining game thread today
see you tomorrow
Tony S - May 31, 2008
Get on the ball you losers
Jeff Sullivan - May 31, 2008
Uhhhh
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
I was workin' on it ya jerk
OlSalty - May 31, 2008
This always cheers me up on a slow day
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IQA2OZPZO5k
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Hardly-the-usual Mariner Victory.
ThundaPC - May 31, 2008
What, an existant one?
qrsouther - May 31, 2008
Hey all I was out at work, what did I-
Jesus Christ Kenji stole home!?
BrianL - May 31, 2008
To be fair, he was helped quite a bit by a wild Verlander pitch and a
botched Ivan Rodriguez pick. Even Vidro could’ve scored.
redwolf75 - May 31, 2008
Ah.
BrianL - May 31, 2008
I'm starting to really look forward to seeing Morrow pitch.
With increased FB velocity, increased FB command, and improved secondary stuff, he’s really looking like the real deal.
redwolf75 - May 31, 2008
Dammit
I watched the entire game yesterday (minus the first 2/3 of it, which was the part I’m glad I missed)
And I MISS ALL this game. I really would’ve enjoyed watching Reed’s FB.
LantermanC - May 31, 2008
MLB gameday has it up.
redwolf75 - May 31, 2008
Wow that was a great play on that liner right at Felix.
Also, Reed’s FB makes me happy.
BrianL - May 31, 2008
That was a legit HR(390 ft) which is very encouraging.
Susheel Ramasahayam - May 31, 2008
Put a good swing on what looked like a fairly decent pitch (haven't lookd at the PitchF/X yet).
I wish he played in left field more often.
